Ross tries fixing this at the reception but fails. Rachel is about to leave, but doesn't when she learns that Barry was betting on her to leave before 9:45. She tells Barry that she promised herself she'd make it through at least one of his weddings.

Joey auditions for Warren Beatty's new movie, and is told that he's a good actor but is bad at kissing.

She and Chandler kiss.

Monica asks Richard about their future plans. Richard sees them in Paris, a happy couple without kids.

At Barry and Mindy's wedding, she and Richard tackle the subject again; however, neither of them has shifted position from before. While dancing, Richard offers to have kids with Monica if he has to. This, unfortunately, is not good enough for Monica, as she wants to have a baby with someone who genuinely wants to have children. The two break up.
